1. Description: Start by objectively recounting the experience. Helpful questions to ask include: What happened? Who was involved? When and where did this occur?

2. Feelings: Capture your emotional response to the experience. It's essential to acknowledge both positive and negative emotions, as they significantly affect our interpretation of the event.

3. Evaluation: Assess the good and bad aspects of the experience. What worked well, and what didn't? What were the positive impacts and negative consequences?

4. Analysis: Dig deeper into understanding why things unfolded as they did. This analysis stage is where you draw on relevant literature and professional knowledge to interpret the experience.

5. Conclusion: Determine what you could have done differently and what you've learned from the experience.

6. Action Plan: Develop a plan detailing what you'll do if a similar situation arises in the future.
